Favoving Commercial Union.


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The agent in this country of the government of Dutch Guiana, South America, has urged Congressman Townshend to include that country in his proposition for the establishment of an American customs union, or zollverein, and informs him that his government is strongly in favor of such an arrangement with this country. Mir. Townshend says since he first introduced his proposition in congress, about four years ago, the sentiment in its favor has grown to be quite general in all the countries on this continent. The movement is strengthened by the number of prominent senators and representatives who have, dur ing the last two years, introduced bills and resolutions in congress having this object in view. MT. Townshend expresses himself as confident of favorable action in this congress, and of the ultimate success of his scheme. Cold Weather Furnished to Order.

President Pierce

Cath in the Enquirer.
No President ever entered upon
his office with greater possibility
OF an easy term and denomination
than General Pierce. He immedi-
ately took the step of most of his
predecessors OF swapping away the
first term in order to get the second
one. He allowed Douglas to tempt
him into the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, because he had lust
seen the Southern Wings break up
their party on the slavery question,
and he felt that If he did not bid high
enough tor the radical pro. slavery
support he would be lett. MIR
Pierce soon awoke to the fact that
Douglas had tempted hln, from his
chair. He lost the renomlnation
and most of his officeholders aban-
doned HIM, and poor Buchanan.

OF honors and preferments, was
